Pool versus poultry, help!

[hgoldammer]

We are new to ducks, we have 3 ducklings, 15 peacocks, 13 guineas, and 16 chickens. I have an above ground pool, am I going to have problems??!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! I would eventually expect the ducks to try and get in the pool. You might want to post in the Duck forum about dealing with ducks when you have a pool. https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/42/ducks Also chickens and other poultry can easily drown in pools, if you can't block them off, there should be a way for the animals to get out if they fall in, ie a sloping board or bricks.

All I use is above ground pools, they just need a steep to get in and out

Enjoy your ducks but keep any chicks under 10 weeks away
